He claims to have taken a unit home and by the way he describes things, I believe him.
Not answering much questions but states that he isn't prompted to update to 1.5 yet. The current firmware is pretty smooth though.

From Kel:
UI is VERY SMOOTH even on FW v1.00
Responsive just like the old XMB but faster.
Game loading is a bit slow the first time you load a new game... After installing data in the background, game loads up much faster initially and between levels... (Killzone SF installs almost all the game data on the PS4 HDD, but it does it in the background while the game is running. The initial background installation while running Killzone does have some slight slowdowns here and there on, but nothing too bothersome.)
*** I am thinking of trying to install a SSD on my PS4 to speed up the loading times even more... I will wait until v1.50 update is installed...
Dualshock 4 charging while the system is off is working on FW v1.00
he PS4 retail box follows the PS Vita box trend of making it much thinner compared to the PS3's retail box lol...
You will see what I mean on November 15th 2013.
Also note on the side of the box, it denotes the color of the console on both left and right side (in this case it is "Jet Black") and all the accessories that comes in the box is denoted on the left side. Underside of the box, it denotes specs of console, legal and copyright information in English/Francais.
Packages VERY similar to the PS Vita with the same circle taped security sealed on the box.
I have a PS4 (retail version) under my TV right now, and as of now, Firmware v1.5 is not yet available to update... Many features lacking at the moment... Local single player campaign of Killzone SF and Knack.. No PSN, no multiplayer as of right now.
IT'S HAPPENING!
The box is quite thin judging by the side of it.
